[QUOTE="Rowdie, post: 45571, member: 272"] My hometown had some really snobby golfers in the 70's and 80's growing up. My dad fished and played a lot of softball (fast-pitch). To golf, you HAD to be a member of the Country Club, it is the only course in town. Until the mid 80's, fishing wasn't much of a "in thing". Once MN fishermen started flocking to town and filling up the motels, and then tournaments followed. Since fishing now was starting to be cool, more of the Country Club crowd started trading in their ski-boats for fishing boats. But there were still the ones who wouldn't get their hands dirty. Overheard some snobs at a baseball game saying they put rubber gloves on to handle smelt. LOL Its kind of funny now, some of the best golfers in town aren't your typical County Club types. [/QUOTE]
